Professor Snakelocks' creation, The Sizzler, has been adopted by the Metal Men after changing Doc Magnus into a robot. Professor Snakelocks attempts to destroy the Metal Men but is turned into a robot by The Sizzler after being captured. Platinum is so distraught over The Sizzler's apparent affection for Doc Magnus that she runs away, where the Lizard makes her a hostage in a plan to kill Doc Magnus. Platinum saves Doc at the last minute, and the Sizzler changes both Doc and Professor Snakelocks back to humans.
